I was hitting some balls with the flight scope and my clubhead speed was averaging around 100 mph. My smashfactor was between 1.48 and 1.51 and I was carrying the ball around the 250 mark and rolling usually around the 270 yard mark. One of my buddies was hitting it with the same club head speed but only getting about 230-235 total distance.
My attack angle was in the +3 range and path in to out around 4to 5 and consistently hit the center of the club. His path was -4 or so and was swinging out to in 4 to 6, he also had a tendency to hit the heel of the club. When he was doing the above he drove the ball somewhere between 200 if it was a week cut and 230 if he squared the face and pulled it. We were able to improve his attack angle to the positive side... usually around 1.5-2 and his path to 2-3 to the right. Also by having him back up and line the ball more off the toe of the club he began to hit the center more often. BUT..... the most we could get out of his drives were in the 230-235 I mentioned earlier. What gives?
